Match Preview
Birmingham were unable to respond to Rhian Brewster's 43rd-minute opener last time out as the Blues were beaten 1-0 at Pride Park by play-off contenders Derby. With four defeats from their last six Championship outings, the hosts have effectively been cut out of the top-six fight.
Blackburn's fight to retain their Championship status took a positive turn before the international break as Rovers ground out a goalless draw against second-placed Middlesbrough. Michael O'Neill's side have lost just one of their last four, but are only four points clear of the drop zone.
